WHAT WET GOODS COST.
Some Figures That Go to Show What Be-
comes of Wages.

San Francisco Argonaut: And now,
while we are on this subject, let us point q
moral by grocery account-book, which
was recently picked up on an Oakland
local train. 1t evidently represents part Of
the expenses of two frugal families-Irish,
we suspect, from their names, which are
McFadden and MCGEE. From the &C.
counts of the MCGEE and McFadden FAM
lilies it would seem that they devoted them
selves to the strictly superfluous, and
largely ignored the necessaries Of life.
But the book speaks for itself. 1t is multi
ated, like many other rare volumes, but
the few remaining leaves are full of inter
est to the student of human nature. They
run as follows:

WHEN the late Duke of Portland

WHEN the late Duke of Portland
died most Of his property went to his
sisters, one OF whom was Lady Ossing-
ton. AS this lady was a widow, she
was assisted in the management of her
great inheritance by her brother-in-
law, the late A. Denison, and in return
for his services she made him con-
siderable present in money. This
money Mr.. Denison invested in sump-
tuous watch. A very musical repeater
of the best workmanship was inclosed
in gold case literally studded with
jewels, and each jewel a picked stone.
The watch chain had q succession of
black pearls, and the signet was a
scarabaus. The worst of this costly
within was that the owner scarcely
dared wear the watch for fear of being
robbed in the street, and could not
leave it at home for fear Of burglary

THE suddenness with which light
ning-rods have fallen into disuse is a
rather curious fact A few years since
every business-house and private resi-
dence was bristling with rods and
points, while the lghtning-rod agent
was the most intolerable nuisance that
ever imposed upon the public 1t was
formerly thought that the rod was a
genuine protection to houses, and for
years people labored under this de-
fusion. But the fact is that the rod
is not necessity, and is oftentimes a
source of positive danger. A residence
or business-house is just about as safe
in storm without rod as with one
and the people of this generation have
learned this fact.

SENATOR EvARTs has lived at Wind
sor, Vt, for thirty years, Everybody
in the neighborhood of that quiet
place knows him, and in his SLOUGH hat
and ancient coat he does not awaken
Che antagonism from the farmers which
a more elegant attire might provoke.
On the whole, he is popular at Wind
sor. While he is there Senator Evarts
finds his pleasure in his library, his
guests, his forty horses, and the hills
and valleys Of his thousand-acre farm.

"THE highest mountain in America"
must now be changed from Mount st.
Elias to Mount Wrangel, little to the
north. Several of these mountains
have been newly measured. Mount
Hood, once roughly" estimated at IT,
600, then closely at 10000, was brought
down by triangulation to 10000; an
aneroid barometer made it $4,000, and
q mercurial barometer H. 55. Mount
st. Elias, estimated by D'Agelet to be
1862 feet, is triangulated by Mr..
Baker to $4,000. It now appears that
Mount Wrangel, lying to the north,
rises IS, 400 feet above Copper River,
which is in turn 1000 feet above the
sea at that point If this holds true,
Mount Wrangel is at least 1000 feet
higher than any other peak in North
America 1t lies within the United
States boundary.
THE question of making laces of iron
8uu SUOGl 1OI luulGS duu CulluIOu y HSaT
is being discussed in art, mill and
fashion circles. At the Centennial in
1876 piece of steel rolled by Pitts
burgh mill was on exhibition which
was so thin and light that it weighed
much less than book leaf, and could
be blown from the hand easier than a
piece of paper of the same size. The
iron leaf was rolled on train of rolls
upon which heavy tank and boiler iron
is now rolled. Experts say that cur
tains and other fine laces can be made
of soft malleable iron, and in every way
be used with greater satisfaction than
cotton laces. The sheets will neces-
sarily have to be rolled down to an ex-
ceedingly low gauge and then pressed
irto any desirable pattern and shape.

The City Council of Syracuse is COM
posed of women. The Marshal did not
object when forced to go out and find
escorts for the members when the coun-
Gil adjourned, nor find particular fault
when sent out to drum up the town for
chewing gum, but he did rebel when
three of the members brought their
babies with them and ordered him to
nurse them. He resigned. and, having
told his grievances, no one can be found
in Syracuse willing to act as Marshal.
